Capturing a time in milliseconds

Question

The following piece of code is used to print the time in the logs:

#define PRINTTIME() struct tm  * tmptime;
time_t     tmpGetTime;
time(&tmpGetTime);
tm         


        

Answer 1

You need a timer with a higher resolution in order to capture milliseconds. Try this:

int cloc = clock();
//do something that takes a few milliseconds
cout << (clock() - cloc) << endl;

This is of course dependent on your OS.
